76ers' Victory Sparks Potential Turnaround

The Philadelphia 76ers secured a 102-94 victory over the Orlando Magic, marking their sixth win of the season and moving them to 13th place in the Eastern Conference. Despite missing Joel Embiid, the team benefited from strong performances by Paul George and Andre Drummond. KJ Martin, who scored 20 points, is emerging as a valuable asset, potentially altering trade considerations for the 76ers. With the team only two games behind the play-in spot, Martin's continued development could be crucial for their playoff aspirations.
